Wii U Discussion

Re: Wii U Discussion

I'm enjoying 2k13. I switched the resolution to 720p like Tomba mentioned, and haven't had any framerate issues. It was a little choppy at 1080i. Nothing that was terrible, but not fully smooth movement like it is at 720.

Re: Wii U Discussion

So when does Rayman Legends actually release? That will be a definite buy once I get this.

Also how do Wii titles look? I'd like to get Skyward Sword too.

Looks like 3/5/12
Everytime I go into EB I play the demo lol
Love the touch screen stuff with cutting ropes etc.. to clear paths.. and the music rocks

It was delayed from a launch title:

Rayman Legends has been delayed until Q1 2013, Ubisoft has revealed.

“We are taking the time to make sure we deliver a game that lives up to and hopefully exceeds expectations.
"Rayman Legends will launch worldwide in the first quarter of 2013.
"We’re happy that fans are excited about the game, and we are taking the time to make sure we deliver a game that lives up to and hopefully exceeds their expectations. We’ll have more details to share soon."

Re: Wii U Discussion

they said wii u -400,00___wii___300,000

So then that isn't bad then.

I'm not expecting this system to change gaming. I'm looking forward to it furthering the displacement of games thanks to the wireless display.

Can't wait to try it out myself.

My hope is that it makes Smart Glass big for Xbox, and have Sony come up with some solution.

I still can't help but think that in 3-4 years we'll be hearing how the Wii U is maxed out by a lot of devs, and the new consoles just pass it by....

Re: Wii U Discussion

Has anyone tried out Batman with the gamepad yet? I wonder how well the inventory mgmt works.

Thats a guarantee. For me if it wasn't for Nintendo games I "probably" wouldn't have bit on this.

I say probably because in reality I would have as I am a weak mofo..

I don't consider the Wii (Wii U) a alternative to MS/Sony.. just a compliment to them.

Re: Wii U Discussion

I LOVE Smartglass. But can you really see it displace console gaming (esp. when it needs a controller) with a tablet/smartphone?

I think this is one area where Nintendo "got it right" but I highly doubt they (the consumer) will adopt it as they do other things. I still need a controller for >serious< gaming.

The touchscreen stuff in legends was cool. I wish it was a little better about telling you to look at the second screen though.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Picked up SMBU from someone off Craigslist for $40. Lot of people selling this game discounted because they got it at Old Navy for the Black Friday deal. Played an hour and absolutely love it!! Haven't played a Mario side scroller in a long time, and having it in HD is sublime. Great great game.

True...I am super jealous of the full game on the pad...this isn't possible on Smartglass....

I personally see Smartglass as a way to clear up clutter on the main screen, but that could change.

I don't even think it will take 3-4 years, but at least it's in HD. Nintendo seems doomed to weaker hardware and third party support. It's sad seeing Mass Effect 3 as a $60 launch title while there's a trilogy pack for the same price on other platforms. MS and Sony will probably try to evolve on the tablet/second screen concept as well.

I think the Wiiu concept is great, and at worst, it will be worth it for Nintendo exclusives to anyone into them. It's also the first console that really justifies having a full digital library, as you can just pick up the pad and play games away from the couch and TV, or play something like CoD while MNF is on. It's just a shame that the Nintendo Network makes the early PS3 PSN look good.

Games take forever to download, then forever to install afterwards. Your profile being locked to one WiiU is utterly insane. It makes me want to hold back from ever buying anything off their store, especially $60 games, if it means I could lose them due to being tied to hardware. It's a harsh DRM stance that even Sony, MS, Apple, and Google don't do.

I do love NSMBU though. I haven't played the franchise since the DS game, so the complaints about Nintendo milking the NSMB line don't really apply for me. It's a colorful fun game and the challenge mode stuff is great. I've been playing speedruns in Mario since the NES, so of course I would get addicted to a trials/super meat boy style challenge mode.

This part I still do not understand why they continued locking a person's profile to one system. Iwata confirmed on Twitter that they are going to get this fixed in one of the future updates. What sucks with this right now is if your system breaks you have to send it to Nintendo to do the transfer. Hopefully they fix it sooner than later because the eshop possibly having games on there from all the Nintendo console era's is very enticing.

Again, I can't wait to see a 3D Mario and Zelda in action in HD. That will be what sells me on this system for sure. I was negative leading to E3 2012 about this console, but after E3 my tune has slowly changed.
